[issue27973] urllib.urlretrieve() fails on second ftp transfer

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel added the comment:

This bug makes the installation of lxml fail on many systems (especially MacOS) when pip installs from sources, because it tries to download its library dependencies from FTP and crashes due to the FTP "error". I guess the current fix is to not use urllib for that and instead implement the FTP downloads separately. That's unfortunate.
